Healthcare organizations are uniquely vulnerable to ransomware attacks, suffering a notable increase in incidents and substantially longer recovery times compared to other sectors.
'These attacks can have a huge domino effect, as we have seen this year with major ransomware attacks impacting healthcare and patient care.' This emphasizes the sweeping consequences of such breaches.
John Shier stresses the need for a proactive cybersecurity approach, urging healthcare institutions to prioritize human expertise over just relying on advanced technologies.
The rising average recovery costs and lengthy downtimes, with only 22 percent recovering within a week, indicate that healthcare organizations are ill-prepared for these cyber threats.
